rockit's Introduction

rockit

Rock It! is an Android app that helps you stay informed on all things space. It displays upcoming launches and current space news curated by The Space Devs.

If you just want to try it out quickly, you can open the web version. Please note that it might not work on all browsers (depending on Flutter web support for that browser/version, blocker addons etc.). The experience in the Android app is much better.

Features

  • List upcoming launches and events (e.g. space station activity)
  • Show launch/event details and a countdown (including the date and time in your local timezone)
  • List latest space news articles
  • Subscribe to launches or events to receive notifications before the start or when times are updated
  • Search future events and launches
  • No internet? No problem! The app caches offline content for a few days and updates it when connected to the internet

Anti-Features

There's also one Anti-Feature as defined by F-Droid: this app connects to Non-Free Network Services because it needs to get launch data.

Credits

All data this app uses is curated by The Space Devs. This app uses the Launch Library 2 and Spaceflight News APIs.

Installation & updates

If you have F-Droid installed, you can add my repository. Make sure you have "Include anti-feature apps" enabled in settings. Then just search for "rockit" in the F-Droid client to download. You will receive update notifications.

Alternatively, you can download the APK file from the releases section of this repository. Then open it from the file manager to install it. Please note that you will not receive any update notifications when going this route. You can also watch this repository to get notified for releases.

This is free as in freedom software. Do whatever you like with it.

rockit's Issues

Background tasks stopped working

Usually the app should unsubscribe from launches & events automatically 12 hours after they took place. However, this seems to have stopped working on my phone. Similarly, I also no longer get notifications.

It seems to work again after a reboot, but obviously it should never stop working at all.

[FR] add persistent cache for offline use

Pardon me for my poor network connection, but every time waiting for loading upon open makes me really annoyed. Please cache those data already downloaded for future use (even when offline).
